The welcome we received was absolutely superb, with a true to Morocco welcoming tea with biscuits, a stocked fridge and exceptional decor. We did not expect it at all and were simply looking for somewhere to stay - what we got was an entire experience. With value for money to top it all off - I wont be going anywhere else on my next visit it to Pretoria. Thank you for a memorable stay.

SonjaSouth Africa

The food was tasty and presented beautifully. Staff and host was very friendly and we felt so special with the dinner that we had, we were definitely treated with extra care.
I loved the morroco style and the interior made me feel like I was in Morroco.
The coffee and breakfast was also excellent.

Loved the tagine breakfast the first morning, would have loved it again the next morning. Omelette was tasty but the tagine is the best

A quite superb welcome from Richard when we arrived in the middle of a torrential downpour. He could not have been any more helpful, even providing us with mint tea and Moroccan delicacies. The location was ideal. Close to the Craft Brewery for a drink and meal (safe to walk), a 5 min drive to the Menlyn Mall or a 10 min drive into the centre of Pretoria. Everything has a Moroccan stamp on it, including breakfast which was an excellent meatball and tomato sauce tagine. The fruit, honey yoghurt and granola was also excellent.

“Salamu ‘aleykum!” Welcome friend. Come, my home is your home.
In Morocco, the honour and dignity of an extended family is deeply entwined with heartfelt generosity and hospitality. Our guests should expect nothing less, for true comfort is found!

I love beautiful things, travelling, people, good food and wine and most of all savoring time.
As an architect by profession, travelling to Morocco, the falling in love with their architecture and amazing handmade decor was instant.

Situated in the revitalized and trendy suburb of Menlo Park, Moroccan House is in close proximity to major access roads, key business, retail, scientific and industrial hubs, foremost academic institutions and medical centres. Within walking distance, you are spoiled for choice of quality restaurants, an arts theatre, the Hazel Food Market and other chic shopping experiences.

Booking.com guest review guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This lets us know that our reviews come from real guests, like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or quiet room than someone who’s stayed at the property before?

We want you to share your story, both the good and the bad. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinion and experiences, which are critical in helping guests make well-informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, and are treated with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after being moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

Once a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We will use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content as well as the property replies to that content.

We will allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is that of a distributor of feedback from both guest and property.

Guidelines and standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc...).

Booking.com questions and answers guidelines

Questions and answers should be property or room related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary.

The attention to detail is amazing, a true Morocco experience in Gauteng! I would recommend it to anyone!

The ceiling fan in our room didn't work. A function was held at the property on the night of our stay. Although there was loadshedding (leaving our room without any power, after being advised that power will be restored soon), they started the generator only to keep the music going at the function till late into the night. We barely slept - in part due to the heat, and otherwise due to the loud music and partygoers noise. Suggestion for guesthouse to not accommodate "external" guests on the nights when functions are held.

Amazing breakfast. Attention to detail is exemplary.
